We have lined up several expeditions to some of the most beautiful and rarely visited places in the archipelago. No only that, we have catered for all types of budgets and needs.

This year we have boats sailing to the Komodo Islands from Flores as well as boats running out of Lombok and Bali. These expeditions are for those that want to get away from it all and see and experience things few have before them. And in 2009 we are off to Sumba and Raja Empat (we're glad you haven't heard them, but trust us they are superb).

 

And best of, they are on your own Private Charter boat. That's right, get a small group together and you can be snorkeling, SCUBA Diving and exploring to your hearts content.

It's not what you do, it's how you do it that counts. This could be said for travelling as well. We all have choices. A choice between an eco-friendly hotel and one that isn't. The choice between eco-friendly tour operators and ones that aren't. The choice is yours. The effect of your choice changes lives.  Let me explain.

Gunung Rinjani in Indonesia has hundreds of porters walking up and down its massive slopes each year. The altitude these men get to is over 3000m, however many barely have a jumper to keep themselves warm. Some return home, sick, unable to work their own land due to illness.
You can choose between an operator that provides warm clothing to its porters and one that doesn't, simple.

Or in PNG, where hundreds of porters help Australians along the Kokoda Track. You can support a company that has workers compensation for the porters, above recommended wages, good food and equipment and maximum weight limits for its porter team. Or you can choose one that doesn't.

Or in Nepal, you can choose an operator that kits its climbing crew out with warm wind proof Gortex clothing or not. The list goes on.

How you decide to travel can really change people's lives in a positive way. Your choice can ensure the people that help you achieve your goals return home with a fare wage, healthy and happy. Please think before you purchase.

The PNG Government has refused an Exploration Licence to Frontier Mining. The people of Nauro, who may have been direct beneficiaries of the mine have now been pledged compensation from the PNG Government.

 

Jack Deia, our in country Operations Manager, has been at the forefront of negotiations between the Government and the Land Owners. This new deal ensures the Tracks future for this and many years to come.
